The right shop in the right place

Nikola was in Swamp:5, practically blocking the rune vault, and I had neither rElec nor a potion of resistance. So I decided to abandon the Swamp for the moment, and try my luck in Snake instead. The whole story in a nutshell:

  Code:

 40147 | Swamp:5  | Noticed Nikola
 40331 | Snake:1  | Entered Level 1 of the Snake Pit
 40996 | Snake:1  | Found Thaffaru's Distillery.
 41010 | Snake:1  | Bought a potion of resistance for 105 gold pieces
 41335 | Swamp:5  | Killed Nikola

Some bonus: I had no cloak, and Nikola gave me a +2 cloak of darkness. Cool.

Seriously, this is the kind of things I would like that Gozag could do: promote shops where you are going to find something you lack of or need.

 40147 | Swamp:5  | Noticed Nikola
 40331 | Snake:1  | Entered Level 1 of the Snake Pit
 40996 | Snake:1  | Found Thaffaru's Distillery.
 41010 | Snake:1  | Bought a potion of resistance for 105 gold pieces
 41335 | Swamp:5  | Killed Nikola

Hey, you were lucky, it could have been worse:

  Code:

 40147 | Swamp:5  | Noticed Nikola
 40148 | Swamp:5  | Ran away from Nikola
 40148 | Swamp:5  | Nikola followed you
 40331 | Snake:1  | Entered Level 1 of the Snake Pit
 40996 | Snake:1  | Found Thaffaru's Distillery
 41009 | Snake:1  | Nikola pushed you away from Thaffaru's Distillery
 41010 | Snake:1  | Nikola bought a potion of resistance for 105 gold pieces
 41035 | Snake:1  | Killed by Nikola

2 Qazlal's Disasters take care of TRJ and many of its summons, the easiest/fastest way IMHO.
